1. Functional study of hemolymph coagulation in Drosophila larvae
Sammanfattning : Many pathogen infections in nature are accompanied by injury and subsequent coagulation. Despite the contribution of hemolymph coagulation to wound sealing, little is known about its immune function. LÄS MER
2. Molecular and functional characterization of the insect hemolymph clot
Sammanfattning : All metazoans possess an epithelial barrier that protects them from their environment and prevents loss off body fluid. Insects, which have an open circulatory system, depend on fast mechanism to seal wounds to avoid excessive loss of body fluids. LÄS MER
3. Proteomics of the Drosophila hemolymph clot and the function of transglutaminase
Sammanfattning : Insects rely on a fast and effective coagulation and wound response to avoid loss of body fluids and immobilize pathogens. Arthropod coagulation is in some respect equivalent to vertebrate coagulation but most factors and the regulation of coagulation systems seem not to be phylogenetically conserved. LÄS MER
4. Genetic and molecular dissection of hemolymph coagulation and melanization in Drosophila melanogaster
Sammanfattning : Injury to epithelial barriers puts metazoans at risk of loss of body fluid and contamination of their body by foreign particles. This risk is even exacerbated in insects, which have an open circulatory system and as a result, quickly need to seal wounds in order to keep a fairly constant internal milieu. LÄS MER
5. Insect immunity : fractionation and characterization of some immune proteins induced by primary infections of giant silk moth pupae
Sammanfattning : A potent antibacterial activity in hemolymph of giant silk moth pupae is demonstrated. The system is inducible and RNA and protein synthesis are needed for the expression of the activity. Both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were found to be susceptible. The activities could be selectively inhibited, indicating a multicomponent system. LÄS MER
